It's very nice dueling with @oldboy1943 a real gentleman and a very clean racer.

And fast too. Always a pleasure to go up against him.

Sad to hear about the fire Luiz

It was really terrible. The palace is located 500 meters from my work. The negligence of the authorities with the Museum is very sad. The management of the Museum is made by the socialist party for more than 30 years and left the Museum delivered the cockroaches. A great loss for mankind. The Museum was the first residence of the Portuguese imperial family when it moved to Brazil fleeing Napoleon's troops. The residence belonged to a slave trader who donated it to D. João to be the residence of the imperial family. Too much history burned in the irresponsibility of public officials, A pity.

 

[oldphart]

Sigh
It's the way of things. A great loss, not just for your Country, but the world as well. I remember the first time I saw it from across the street. Sad to see the pictures.

N600 Amuse S2000 GT (Praiano Setup) at Monza - After that the 3rd place choose next track
Tires = RH - BoP = ON - Tuning = Open - Damage = none - Boost = weak - Fuel = ON - Tires = ON
Then we will move to Blue Moon raceway for 4 races of 6 laps, car to decide.
The transmission setup is the same procedure as always. Last gear all to de right (6000), speed all to the left and then each individual gear. Finally adjust final gear to 4900.
Don't forget to set the down-force, very important!!!

I would have loved this bunch of racing with this car. I had to cover for a co-worker that is on vacation. Wish I could have been there.

 

[Luiz Frota]

I will not be able to attend this weekend. I'll be out of the town. Have a good race. See you guys on Wednesday.

 

[pmallard]

Geezer race - use a Group 4 car BOP on tuning off. We may choose two cars to use in the morning.

 

[oldphart]

Thanks Pete had a lot of fun and lots of mistakes
Started the day with internet issues, may as well end with one as well. Not normally glitchy... Shrug

Good choice on the cars, tight racing all day

Thanks mate, was a shame when Sony went tits up again. I have watched replays and they are well cool Some great racing again and good to have so many racers.

Second try,, Good fun today fellas. At least until Steve's internet or Sony, PD dumped him it was. Reopened another by Cory but the racing sorta fell apart after that. Ohh well, we have next week eh. Anyway, watching some videos on YouTube I stumbled upon one I hadn't seen before,, too cool and thought you guys might enjoy another "in car" real GT3 run at "tha Ring" There were too many things to mention here but as you watch you'll note a number of things we see as we play the game. Hope you enjoy as much as I did:

I turn on my wipers to distract people also. Proof that it works.

 

[Nonno Calvy]

Two days of very pleasant races, yesterday in some races we were 14 !!
All very hard fought and Steve had chosen an excellent car. Fun at best.
Praiano's setup was great, I personally changed the height of the car with better or worse results, who knows!
I did not have the time to try.
I created some inconveniences in a couple of races because of my gas pedal, sometimes I crush everything but it does not take and I can not do anything about it. One day I will decide to call the logitech !
Unfortunately I'm not able to create replays where you can see all the cars in the battle, I keep trying but I can not !
I would also like to hear all the crap you say in the chat, unfortunately I could not understand anything or almost!

Can you believe that!! Hope he got his just reward! And by JUST REWARD I mean, we hope the officials didn't see the offense as a mere fine or kick would have only let him off the hook to do it again. The correct reward would have been the other rider blowing this jerk (who is willing to do anything to move up) out of the race with a WIN! Justice would have been served APPROPRIATELY.

Dangerous and unsportsmanlike.

Yes the stewards did notice that ....and he got disqualified from the race and sacked by his team but calls remain for a lifetime ban

Hurricane Florence IS building power just off the East Coast of the US. It has been determined that inhabitants of the Carolinas, Virginia, perhaps Georgia collect what they can fit in their automobiles and LEAVE, IMMEDIATELY! We pray for all those people's well being and that as few as is possible will return to their homes with ZERO impacts as a result of this storm. A number of our friends have very likely evacuated their homes with just a few of their possessions. Let's join them and pray the hurricane and following flooding will not impact themselves or their families, I've attached a map of the East Coast for any of our Geezer friends or anyone who may be following our message string may see those states most likely will be hit by Hurricane Florence.

 

[Stewyripper]

I hope all come out of this as safely as possible and will be thinking of you all at this time.

Sod's law the network drops before I finally get to race with you all. 1:30am so a bit late to see if or when it comes back on.

99% sure I'm doing Sunday's race so hopefully I'll get to race with you then.👍

@Luiz Frota

I didn't realise the Nismo needed your tune for the race. I've only just seen it. Sorry.
